SATURDAY NIGHT MUSINGS.

Pause and think. A week hath ended,
One week less for thee below
IN this week there hath been blended
Hope and fear and joy and woe.
Heavy heart, thou shouldst not murmur,
Though DER thy sky q cloud be cast;
One week to thy haven nearer,
Courage gather from the past
Pause and think. A week hath ended;
What hath It's record been for thee2
Whom oppressed hast thou befriended?
Who the happier been for thee?
Hast thou love for hate requited?
To thy neighbors hast been true?
What, oh! what hast thou neglected,
What perfomed thou shOuldst not do?
Pause, my soul, a week hath ended;
Time is bearing thee away,
Only for awhile extended
Is the life We live to-day.
What may be upon the morrow,
God in mercy hoes from thee;
But 50 live, come joy or sorrow,
Heaven II be thine through eternity.
